1. Whose money, whose resources?
2. You do realize that in the situations where they quarantine everyone for 14 days and they then train and play, that these players and staff would be in far better conditions then the vast majority of people right? Much safer as they will be in an environment that is for all intent and purpose, sterile.
3. It was never thought to be a threat to only older people or those with medical issues. Like with most virus, it does effect those people most. But it most certainly does not effect only them and no experts ever said it did. If you only read headlines, then yes, you might assume that. But that was never the actual case.
4. Football is in fact a business. More over, that people will be sitting inside trying to wait this out, that is a reason to provide sport. You mentioned earlier that you don't understand the concept of people becoming stir crazy. They can find things to do. But it is an actual thing, as is depression and other issues becoming very problematic while people are forced to stay in one place. It is one thing to say stay home and play games, watch movies, do this, do that, etc. It is another consider the actual interest of other people, their mental health, whether they even have the money to afford such things, etc.. Sports is a unifying venture, that has stopped wars, and comforted people at the worsts of times. It has value outside of the momentary gain for the those involved. If it didn't, it wouldn't exist in the first place.
5. You mention stuff like school and business. The fundamental difference is you can't sterilize those environments. That is why those situations have to wait out the virus.
Both the WWE and AEW have told everyone that if they want to not work, they do not have to. Everyone coming in is choosing to. When Roman decided he didn't want to do Mania, he was allowed to go home and they replaced him. Up to that point, it was Roman's decision to show up.
Why would the police allow them to gather?
The money and resources will not solely come from the football league if that's what you are suggesting, you are talking about shutting down a section of a city to make all of this happen. That time and money could be directed towards extra testing centers and other needs. I understand how quarantine works mate, I just don't think all of this hassle expense and risk is logical for a bunch of ****ing meaningless football matches. Seriously, the hospitals are stretched to the limit and the staff are now dying, but hey lets make all of these side arrangements so some guys can kick a ball around for entertainment.
As for the bolded part, you don't need to tell me about depression, I'm on anti depressants and have been for 20 years, my Dad is now on them since my Mom went in a home and I have been looking after him, seeing him struggle with it, so I know what depression is and how it can effect people, and if the only way someone can cope with it is watching sterile football matches, then I'm sorry but they are in real trouble as anything you depend on for a crutch so severely is dangerous, do you think I am not missing some games to watch? They are a lot easier to follow and relax to for my Dad than TV shows, but we both realize there are much bigger things in the world right now and thus are adapting accordingly. As far as football being a business, well so are movies and they are shut down, Wimbeldon is canceled this year, the places that make money from the big conventions are all losing money, the automotive industry is losing billions, yet none of them are doing anything but abiding by the guidelines, the only industry desperately trying to get going amidst this is the football one and yes, it is purely down to money, if this virus had exploded in June instead of now do you think they'd be scrambling to start the next season? No, they'd be patiently waiting.
If you plow large amounts of money into sterlizing and oraganzing many businesses and schools you can control it, the money would be better spent there than on getting football matches played.
You and I both know what Vince is like, this is a guy that is currently monetizing the coronavirus with a new deal with Fox, anyone that chooses not to work will be on the list and ****ed over when things go back to normal, Roman might avoid this fate as he's the golden boy, like Cena choosing not to go to the Saudi shows, you know how that man works.
Putting a load of cops in danger to stop moron football fans gathering outside a stadium is ludicrous, they are already having to be deployed at shopping centers because people can't act intelligently and abide by the rules, wasting their time and their lives confronting hordes of guys too stupid to stay away is crazy, every aspect of doing this takes up time, money and bodies that could be used elsewhere, and you mention that the virus could always kill younger people, at first it wasn't, the point being is they don't really know enough about this thing and are working on understanding, what happens if they do the testing and the players are given the all clear but one of them gets infected once behind these football utopia walls as it's spreading in ways we don't yet know? Will that be a case of "Sorry, that's a 100 players and staff infected, but hey, all to entertain you eh folks?" Come on dude, the word being used constantly is "essential" when it comes to even leaving the house, there is nothing essential about football.
